Default tirerack or discount tire?

It's time to change tire. I am looking for Continental ExtremeContact DWS tire, If it's not good, tell me.. well, I saw that on tire rack and discount tire. discount tire told me(on web) total outdoor price is $698.35 The price is including changing tire and balence it right? Tirerack's price is Grand Total: $515.60 . (without changing tire and balence..) other shop will change the tire with about 15~30 per tire. so my question is which is batter to choose..

I also need to change break flud,, in same time so .. If you know some good shop(cheap and good) let me know.

thanks.

Go to discount tire with the tire rack tire prices and they will get pretty close to matching the price.

use tire rack, have them send the tires to curt at c and c. he will do your brake fluid as well and give the car a look over. you will get cheaper tires at tire rack, and will be supporting the best S shop in the city. win win. i dont know much about continental tires, but comparable brands that get a lot of play here are yokohama s. drive(thats what i have), dunlop star specs, bridgestone and hankook ventus v12. take a look around, hope this helps.

You might use Discount Tire Direct, a branch of Discount Tire. They are usually cheaper, the prices are closely aligned with Tireracks.
